Primitivo, aka Zinfandel, is slowly making important inroads into Australia’s vineyards. This one, blended with Shiraz, features aromas of blackberry, chocolate cherry, cedar, menthol and peppercorn. Dry and forcefully fruity with a cushion of velvety tannins giving support. It isn’t, though, a fruit bomb – the flavours are bright and vivid. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue.
